this course let me read texts that i would otherwise no read. while i can’t say i enjoyed all of them but it was an experience. and i got exposed to a lot of stand up comedy due to our lecturer’s fondness of such acts. Out of every text, i really enjoyed Watchmen, a teeny bit draggy at the middle but the ending was really good and satisfying. plus it is a graphic novel, that should get people interested!

after the exam we went to adm to view the vis comm year 2 exhibition (and get free food from the buffet). book-binding. i think that book-binding is taught in vis comm? i dunno, but it looks like something i want to do and learn. 🙂

on the train back lydia and i began talking about the first day of school in adm. how we were all sitting on that white, square platform in Qing’s drawing class and who we remembered from the first lesson… it has been so fast, this sem! and already we are so attached to our foundation class, the thought that we may split up in sem 2 is just sad. but, i dun think it is going to happen, nic says it was a administrative mistake. great! 😀

it combines Shophouses with visual art, now isn’t that exciting? maybe because i am always intrigued by old shophouses in Singapore, and the fact that the exhibition opens up shophouses to visitors makes it so interesting! imagine walking into people’s houses and discovering art within it… The concept is created by the same people who brought to us ‘Blackout’, the exhibition entirely in the dark at Q-square a few months back. plus the artists sound interesting too, they have art collectives Vertical Submarine, :Phunk studio and artists like Delia and Milenko Prvacki, Rebecca Lim, Kosuke Misawa and Lynn Lu (doesn’t she teach at ADM?)…

(it is a fun thing to do while catching up… on dec 4, dec 5 anyone interested to go? :D)

went with a few of my classmates to see Karen’s exhibition ‘Tactile Textiles’ today at tai seng street in this high-end furniture store. agh! Tai Seng area is so so hot! with no trees whatsoever just lots of open space and a few scattered big buildings/warehouses. hmmpf. got back feeling very hot!

anyway, interesting exhibition with the unusual use of heat setting via iron, streaming and other methods to give textiles a 3-dimensional form that holds! haha! never knew you could do that! plus we had fun ooh-ing and ahh-ing at all the funky (but very expensive) furniture there. 😀

and then ridwan called to say that our class and timetable allocation for next sem is out! oh dear. oh dear. and apparently not everyone stays in the same foundation class, what is happening? it made me think of NJ after first three months all over again! sigh. but yes, i managed to check studentlink and i am still in G4, so i hope everyone else is to and this is just a false alarm! the timetable is quite terrible though, how can a lesson end at 1.30pm and the next start at 1.30pm too especially when one is in ADM and the other is at South Spine!! how are we ever going to get there in time? and this is considering the fact that this sem, we had a period of 30mins to do that and we are always late! i wonder who planned the timetable. i hope someone realises this and the timetable is changed again.

incoherent sentences today at WAH examination due to lack of time. that never happened at art history before. it was reminiscent of my literature, social studies and history papers in secondary school. hmmpf!

i realised that my blog post on wed did not get through even though i did type out an entry. oh well.

3 modules down. 3 more to go. and after that, i want to meet up with so many people who i haven’t seen since i entered ADM. it is scary that i haven’t seen my friends in so long. and after the semester, a few of us from G4 want to go exhibition-hopping plus learn book-binding. and there is MAAD in Dec which is supposed to be the best month to sell there. After the semester.

now it is back to WAH.

oh, i am making these badges for christmas. 🙂 guardian angels! (this is what i do besides studying! :P)
